1 Reason I'm Still Investing During a Bear Market
Stock market downturns are never easy, especially when they turn into bear markets. The Nasdaq is down roughly 25% since the beginning of the year, and the S&P 500 has been hovering around bear market territory for months.
When stock prices are falling, it's tempting to either pull your money out of the market or stop investing for the time being. However, while it may sound counterintuitive, continuing to invest during a bear market is a fantastic opportunity to build wealth.
The primary reason I'm continuing to invest during a bear market -- and will continue to invest, regardless of how far prices fall -- is that it's a perfect opportunity to buy at a discount.
